Well, personally I would love to see a JDM V6 in that thing just because of the rarity of that conversion. I don't know what your finances look like though. She's right though. Watch out for the guys. Technically right now you are kinda like a fish surrounded by sharks. Guys here are ruthless.

yay a cute diy girl that knows what she wants and even says engine codes!
 ...swing by the civic section for all your ins-and-outs Ren (yes, if you havent noticed...95% of the guys here are leg-humpers...I try not to be...but sometimes it cant be helped) Oh, the reason why most people will say gc over eibach is because of their height adjustability. The fact is, eibach springs are used (or were at least) on all gc products. If you think you need to adjust the ride height several+ times per year then go w/ them; I probably shouldve, being in Mi, but...I got standard h&r springs instead...and Im happy w/ them. Get what you think you'll need - quality is the name of the game (especially on suspension parts) |

I think the most important thing is that youre not rolling in here saying "hi I just got a civic...what should I do?" You actually have a plan...if even just a little one.
The majority of starting people dont know what engine they have...youve got a huge jump on them. Plus your style choice is perfect. |

Well I have always been into cars.. I've never been a "girly girl"... I grew up with all guy cousins who are into wrestling and imports..For awhile i thought about wanting to design body kits.. of course my mom was like.. not thats not a sutible job for a girl..
 So I ended up being a vet tech which is how i got my pit..(the one in the last pic)... Anywho I couldnt give up cars and I decided that this civic would be my project car.... im very cautious now though.. so I dont see any more street racing in my future... I had my fun while I was in my Dsm...Savannah Drag way was fun....

holy crap what a turn-on. That guy of yours should feel great knowing that his girl gets dirty working on cars. I can think of few things that are so awesomely-badass.
You know an easier way to see that its a z6 wouldve just to have looked on the front of the engine block, off to the left. Its stamped onto the plate - "D16Z6" But vin decoding works too. |

Well of course I have to do everything the hard way.. anywho... It's kind of funny when I know more about cars then my boyfriends (well ex). My current boyfriend used to work at cercuit city in the auto installions so he works on my system and I do everything else. Hey its a good combo since I know nothing about sounds systems...i used to go to Ga Southern University and at one of the games my old Dsm had to act up so I was sitting there in the tailgaiting area working on my car... talk about a turn on for guys.. there were more than a few guys there with buldgy pants... hey if you got it flaunt it right????

God I know... and when I start talking about cars and I get into a heated discussion I hate the posers who once you start getting technical with engine codes and stuff they are like... huh???:o Oh and I just thought I would share this cause it was so damn funny.. I saw and pic of a honda hatchback with a freaken cardboard body kit.. and around here in Atl this guy had a 240 with a custom made wing of a metal 2X4 and two "L frames" that held it up.... God i love people these days...

daym... you're pretty. Welcome to HST. Like pdiggs said, it was cool to hear you say what you wanted on your car and using jargons such as D-series and DSM's. Goodluck on whatever you do. You'll find the civic guys here pretty informative.
